Woah! PS4 Sales Smash Past 70 Million, PS VR at Over 2 Million!

Sony broke the big news this morning, as of December 3, the PlayStation 4 has surprassed sales of 70.6 million worldwide. The last time they reported sales figures was in June. At that point, 60.4 million had been sold. Yes, they’ve sold 10 million PS4s in that short time. Amazing.

Another awesome bit of news? PlayStation VR has sold more than 2 million units! Not too shabby for a headset that everyone said Sony was going to soon abandon. By the way, if you’re looking for experiences on the PS VR, as of today, 150 ‘titles’ can be enjoyed in the world of VR, with many, MANY more to come.

Congrats to Sony on their success, because if you remember pre-launch of this generation, all the industry bigwigs said that consoles were on a march to their death. Funny what quality games and a commitment to providing the best place to play will do for you.
